35 places you’ve got to check out on the other side of the Wall

OUR HISTORY IS INEXTRICABLE from Mexico’s. We’ve traded people, cultures, and goods for the entirety of our joint history. We’ve gone to war and we’ve been allies. The current hostility towards the country on the other side of the wall is nothing new. But most of that hostility comes from a place of ignorance. Mexico is as vibrant, diverse, and beautiful as the United States.

If you love the outdoors, Mexico is home to deserts, mountains, oceans, and jungles. If you love cities, Mexico City is one of the biggest on the planet, and is home to some of the coolest architecture, best food, and craziest sites (Punk Rock Flea Market, anyone?) in the western hemisphere.

Wall or no wall, our history will remain intertwined with Mexico’s. It’s one of our favorite countries here at Matador, and we think people would be a lot less scared of the country south of the border if they’d buy a plane ticket and fly on down themselves. So we’ve dipped into our Travelstoke app and have selected just a few of the spots you’ve gotta check out in Mexico.
